Narcissist

I saw you looking in the mirror again today

You can’t seem to go past one

Without taking a second glance

Your own image seems to impress you

As if you were really in love

With the one staring back at you

You never seem to notice me

Watching you as you pass the mirror

And you seem almost a narcissist to me

Who only sees how you prance and primp

Staring long and hard at your appearance

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen

Another look so long or endearingly

Into that looking glass where we all see

Ourselves staring back at us

Could it only be me or are you actually

In love with what you see

Looking back from your reflection

And it is a little troubling to me

When I see you speak to yourself

Long moans of yearning

Puppy, I know you long to believe

That puppy in the mirror

Is your brother or sister!
